Ringing Out the Year

January 1, 2016December 27, 2015 / jthorndyke / Leave a comment

santa

scented candles
every summer evening
the small ghost
of my little terrier
walking with us at dusk

this old sadness
at the dying Christmas bush
once again
I must write my
way through transition

cicadas
ringing out the year
one last
loving cup
before sunset
